Aragon Falls is a 40-foot waterfall on Aragon Springs in Rio Arriba County, New Mexico, in the Southern Rockies region. It lies about 24.5 miles north of Santa Teresa and roughly 72 miles northwest of Santa Fe as the crow flies.
At 40 feet it is among the ten tallest of the 4 New Mexico waterfalls with a recorded height, ranking 3rd. By form it is a horsetail, where the water keeps some contact with the bedrock as it falls.
The Southern Rockies are high, rugged mountains with alpine peaks, spruce-fir and lodgepole forest, aspen groves and glacial valleys. Snowmelt drives strong spring flows over granite and volcanic cliffs.
